Sunbelt/ESPN deal

I think the point is it would be nice if they stopped putting our potential big games on work nights. If we go into that game 4-1 and it would be on a Saturday night we would have had a large crowd that could have kickstarted a turnaround in attendance from the non die hard fans. I hate these weeknight games.

SBC and ESPN’s angle is just the opposite. SBC and ESPN ARE looking for the game that will generate the best TV audience. I think they have it.

Once we both win this weekend it will be the best matchup in the SBC this year.

Oh I know. It’s that thinking that is killing attendance. Seems like a long term bad business move.

I didn’t say I was excited about it, just pointed out the reason.

What "thinking"? Espn only cares about the matchup, we want to be on tv, we are in the Sunbelt with a _____ contract with espn. What could be different? Do we say no, f***k tv and midweek games or do we join the sec?

We will go ahead and join the SEC - all games on TV.

The money from "WINNING" and playing to a Louisiana Saturday Night" crowd. (Did I mention winning?) That money would far outpace anything ESPenniesNetwork brings in for midweek filler programing.

Thank you
Yes, that was my main point in the OP regarding the Sun Belt weeknight games.

As someone else said previously, sometimes this ____ happens (especially so when you play midweek games)

____ it. The next 2 games will be huge. We need to get payback to appy State

There's a reason the only mention of money is $4.99
